Ed,
I'm assuming that your emissions equipment (air pump, gulp valve, etc.) has
been disconnected....if not, a big culprit behind the symptoms you
describe would be a faulty gulp valve.
Often,it helps to have the engine running when you check linkage adjustment
problems. Have someone depress and release the accelerator pedal while
you observe the operation of the linkage. Look around the individual carb
throttle plate linkages very closely to be sure they're promptly returning to
their stops. Once you've ruled out any linkage problems, remove the air
cleaners and check operation of the air valves to be sure one or both aren't
hanging up. Just for kicks, spray a little carb cleaner around the points
where the throttle shafts enter the carbs.....while the engine is
running.....if the rpm changes noticeably, the rebuilder may have not replaced
the
rubber seals around the throttle shafts letting air into the carb changing
the mixture at random amounts depending on how the throttle shaft moves.

I have inspected the linkage and don't find that it is hanging up
anywhere. Is it possible though that it could be something with the way I
reinstalled the linkage?
